Clothing items are made to order and are currently shipping in about one week. There may be lightly used gear in our Bargain Bin!

Description:

Our Vertice rain gear is the pinnacle of waterproof breathable technology. It is breathable enough to sleep in or hike in if it is cold out without getting clammy. It is thick enough to withstand light brush and abrasion, and it is among the lightest possible choices for waterproof breathable rain gear.

Features:

Adjustable shock cord at the waist. The shock cord can be cinched down to any minimum.
Wide ankles will fit over most shoes up to US Men's size 12 without removing them. That means less weight and no zippers that could potentially fail in the mud or drag on the ground.
Packs up tiny as shown. Roll the pants up and secure them with the waist elastic. No stuff sack necessary.
Combine these pants with a matching Jacket and Mitts for a super light rain suit!
Repair tape sticks extremely well to the inside of the material so repairs in the field are a cinch. Tape will not stick to the exterior.
All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

Construction:

Built from our Vertice 3-Layer waterproof breathable fabric. This material is constructed with a tricot lining to wick moisture away from your skin, a waterproof, vapor permeable membrane in the middle, and 7 denier ripstop nylon on the exterior.
Incredible 56,000+ g/m^2/24hr vapor transfer per test JIS L 1099 Method B1. This breathability rating blows away most other rain gear, including our previous generation fabrics.
Fully waterproof, 20,000 mm hydrostatic head rating.
Durable, effective "C6" water repellent on the exterior.

Measuring:

Waist: Use a string or cloth tape measure to measure around your waist and compare that to our "Fits Waist" measurement. Don't rely on your "pant size" as the waist varies from brand to brand and may not actually correspond to inches.

There is no zipper, so our pants are built with the waist line loose enough to come up over typical hips and fit over your normal hiking pants. There is an elastic waist band to cinch them down to any minimum size. Women with large hips may need to size up a waist size.

Length: The inseam length corresponds to normal US Men's pant inseams.

Care:

Rain gear should only be washed as needed, after a few trips or if you notice that the DWR is not as effective as when new. Machine wash with Grangers Wash+Repel or similar product. Tumble dry or line dry.

"I just wanted to give some feedback on my new rain pants for my section hike of the AT from Rutland, Vermont to Mt. Katahdin this summer. When I left Gentian Pond Shelter in Maine on July 12th, the rain had started. By the time I got to the top of Mt. Success it was sleeting so hard it was cutting my face. The rain pants saved me that day and performed great. I was wearing shorts underneath, but the fabric did not stick to my skin. I also wore them climbing Katahdin on August 7th. Although it was clear, the winds were a steady 70 mph and around 50 degrees. These pants saved me on both days. Thanks for a great product." -Maury �Deacon� H.

"These pants are fantastic. I have hiked, bicycled and backcountry skied hundreds of miles in these pants. From rocky trails in freezing rain at 30 mph to sunny wet powder ski days these pants have seen it all and shrugged it off. In several inch rains from Washington downpours they do get damp but do not transfer water to your under layers. They are so light that sometimes I forget I have them on. The inseam options are quite helpful for mobility and fit." - Mark 'Sticks' O.
